The United States is the world’s largest oil-producing country, according to US President Donald Trump. He claims that the country benefits significantly from rising oil prices. Trump downplayed the impact of escalating tensions with Iran on the global oil market, saying that the US benefits from increased oil prices.
Trump made these comments on his social media platform Truth Social, stating that the US is the world’s largest oil-producing country. When oil prices rise, the US earns significantly more, but for Trump, the most important goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and causing chaos in the Middle East and the world.
The US President emphasized that he will never allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, describing the country as “a kingdom of evil.” Trump also stated that he will never allow the Middle East and the world to be destroyed.
The comments come as the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned of a possible global oil supply disruption due to Iran’s increasing attacks. Meanwhile, US media reports suggest that Trump plans to continue the conflict with Iran for the next three to four weeks before making further decisions.
Trump’s advisors have reportedly warned him that if Iran continues to block the Strait of Hormuz, the US could prolong the war to make oil prices unbearable. The Israeli media reported that an Iranian missile hit the northern Israeli town of Zarzir, injuring dozens of people.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense claimed that it had destroyed 56 drones in the air and a drone attempting to target the Riyadh diplomatic area. Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani warned the US that attacking Iran’s energy infrastructure could have severe consequences for the entire Middle East.
The US Defense Secretary stated that the US conducts over 1,000 airstrikes per day on Iran. Trump suggested that the situation at the Strait of Hormuz is improving and that commercial ships should start operating there again to prevent a future conflict.
In a separate development, Israeli warplanes struck a university in Lebanon, targeting its science department. The US Senate confirmed that four American servicemen were killed in a crash in Iraq. The Israeli military claimed to have conducted over 200 strikes on Iranian targets in the past 24 hours.
The conflict in the Middle East has taken a new turn, with electronic warfare, satellite information, and radar signals playing a crucial role. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hossein Salami stated that the world will witness a different Yom Kippur this year.
Iran faces the risk of US disapproval due to its close ties with its ally. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that the US will lift sanctions on Russian oil by April 11. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani warned that a US attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure could have severe consequences for the entire Middle East.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that a US aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln, was hit by missiles, causing significant damage. Experts suggest that the missiles were used to deceive Israel’s advanced air defense system.
A report stated that Israel has made it difficult for the occupied Jerusalem to obtain a construction permit. US Defense Secretary Mark Esper stated that the US conducts over 1,000 airstrikes per day on Iran.
The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly complex, with electronic warfare, satellite information, and radar signals playing a crucial role.
